Stepping back to the end of the meal briefly...
Leutennant Commander Romero remains behind as the party breaks up, chatting briefly with the stragglers until she is left alone. When the stewards enter to remove the remains of the meal, they find her leaning up against the viewport, gazing distantly out at the stars streaking past. They go silently about their work, careful not to disturb her reverie. After a few minutes, Alejandra returns to the present, crosses herself, and quetly thanks the stewards as she leaves.
An hour later, she can be found in the gym. She acknowledges R'rssar with a quick nod and greeting, but quickly looses herself in her routine.
OOC: I assume R'rssar isn't one to indulge in much chit-chat, but Lancer is free to contradict me here
After two intense hours of exercize, Alejandra returns to her quarters and prepares herself to face the first day of her new assignment.
OOC: Ready for the next day...
